can't log in into linux, dual boot system disappeared

(1/2) > >>

kyttycat:
I have windows NT in my PC.
I installed linux 9 afterwards.
Because of viruses I had to reinstall windows again.
Now the dual boot system option doesn't appear anymore when I start my computer.
It goes directly into windows.
How can I recover it so I have the option to log into linux again?

Thanks

Ricky:
What do you mean by linux 9 ? is that Redhat 9 OK
well.. boot your computer from redhat cd.. then type
--- Code: ---linux rescue
--- End code ---
when it shows options.. the very first screen.
then follow steps for linux rescue and mount your system under /mnt/sysimage then . follow the instruction it is all there. Now execute following command..

--- Code: ---/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
--- End code ---
it should show now dual boot menu or reboot.

kyttycat:
Yes, I meant Red Hat 9.
I'll try what you suggested, thanks!!

kyttycat:
I tried what you said.
The linux rescue section went fine.
Everything was mounted under /mnt/sysimage.
Back in the command shell I put the command /sbin/grub-install   /dev/hda it said that the isn't a directory /sbin/grub-install.  I looked under /sbin and grub-install is there.

I don't understand.

What could be the problem?

Thanks again.

Ricky:
did u do
--- Code: ---chroot /mnt/sysimage
--- End code ---
before runnnig /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda ?
